Emerald Green Figured Satin Parasol with Ivory Handle

Victorian Early / Crinoline · 1840s · English

A mid-19th century parasol featuring a dome-shaped canopy constructed from lustrous figured satin in vibrant emerald green tones. The fabric displays a subtle woven pattern that creates textural variation across the surface. The canopy is edged with decorative fringe trim in matching green, adding movement and visual weight to the perimeter. The parasol is supported by a slender wooden shaft with a natural wood finish, terminating in a carved ivory handle with decorative detailing. The overall construction demonstrates typical 1840s parasol engineering with metal ribs creating the umbrella framework beneath the satin covering. This accessory exemplifies the Victorian emphasis on sun protection while maintaining fashionable appearance during outdoor social activities.
